FRESNO, Calif. ( KSEE/KGPE ) – The future holds big expectations for Fresno State’s new Athletic Director Garrett Klassy, expectations he and his peers believe he will exceed as Fresno State’s Fall 2024 semester approaches.
On June 28, Fresno State held a press conference with University President Saul Jimenez-Sandoval and Fresno State’s new Athletic Director.
In mid-June, Fresno State announced they had hired Klassy as the new Athletic Director, to help usher them into a new age.
President Sandoval says he is pleased to have Klassy manning the helm of Fresno State’s Athletic Department. He says Klassy’s proven work ethic and values line up perfectly with the university’s identity and the future Sandoval envisions for Fresno State.
“I see two main pillars that hold up who Garret Klassy is,” Sandoval said. “He has his gifted intellect and leadership skills, and then on the other hand, he’s humble and he’s hard-working.”
Klassy says he appreciates the opportunity to work alongside Sandoval and is excited to have the chance to take Fresno State to another level.
